Thai Purple Basil Seeds (Ocimum Basilicum)

Purple Thai Basil is more stable under high or extended cooking temperatures than that of sweet basil. Thai basil has small, narrow leaves, purple stems, and pink-purple flowers.

Purple basil is more resistant to fusarium wilt than Italian basil but may be somewhat stunted by it.

Storing: If fresh, Thai Purple Basil can be kept loosely bagged in plastic in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Freezing is not a good option because most recipes use it as fresh whole leaves. Dried it's pretty much worthless.
